RE. VLVL(6) Children of the Revolution

[David Morris]

rj:
The members of 24fps in their ideological obsession with and bickering
about "light" seem a rather motley crew of self-indulgent and
pretentious avant-gardists to me. The opportunistic siphoning off of
electricity from the grid which Frenesi envisages as a political act of
some sort, sticking it to the "fascist monster, Central Power itself"
202.2, comes across as sloganeering and hyperbole, a justification of
the theft rather than legitimate or considered revolutionary antagonism.

The "classically retrograde cult of personality"(205.11) which surrounds
Weed is similarly misguided and ignorant: "Not only was nobody thinking
about the real situation, nobody was even brainlessly reacting to
it."(205.9) PR3 seems like a bunch of potheads holed out and stumbling
around in some surfer's house.

Maybe this is the 'absence' we are being shown, these empty and selfish
posturings at a time when there *was* actually so much to revolt
against.


Me:
Rj's characterizations above could have been written by Brock Vond himself. 
 I think its pretty clear that all the foibles of the 24fps and the PR3 are 
intended to endear, not indict.  How boring would it be were it otherwise.
